One or more VIBs mapping to Bulletin VMW-ESX-6.0.0-ixgben-1.7.15 have dependencies not installed on the host:

Hi,

I imported driver vib for ixgben driver version 1.7.15 (VMware Compatibility Guide - I/O Device Search) into 6.5 VUM patch repository (VCSA). Then I added this vib to a custom baseline, I did the same a while ago for version 1.7.10, but can't remember if I had same problems back then.

But I'm unable to install this vib,

[2019-05-28 12:24:48:693 'HostUpdateDepotManager' 140273770456832 INFO]  [scanHost20, 1436] One or more VIBs mapping to Bulletin VMW-ESX-6.0.0-ixgben-1.7.15 have dependencies not installed on the host: xxxxxxxx (entity: host-39) and not part of the bulletin, marking as 'UNKNOWN' for DVS scan

I'm able to install the vib with cli without problems, only VUM is not liking it. Any idea why and how to resolve this? Using cli to rollout his vib to a larger number of hosts is not the most efficient way.

# esxcli software vib install -v /tmp/ixgben-1.7.15-1OEM.600.0.0.2768847.x86_64.vib

We got the same issue for 1.7.17 and 1.7.20 on 6.5 U3 hosts and were also able to patch using get-excli command whitout any force or tricky options.

Did you find out more about this?

No, I closed the ticket at VMware after I was asked to reinstall VUM for the third time without success.

reinstall VUM on a VCSA ?? i got a ticket opened now, i'll let you know if you're interested but that doesn't start well, they asked me to check with my HW vendor to uninstall some vibs because i don't use all of my network cards...
